Even though I love being active there have been periods in my life where exercise has taken a back seat.
It's only now I realise why I have never settled for one sport or activity. I love variety and surprise! Doing a 5km run everyday quickly becomes dull and uninspiring, borderline demotivating.
During my previous life as a teacher I'd frequently have a spare moment to research exercise on the Internet... I should have guessed what I'd become then... the joy of surprises in life eh?!
During my adventures online I discovered "CrossFit", and I was inspired. But at first I didn't trust it, it was too simple, too straight forward in its promises of delivering what it offered - world class fitness.
Why did it take me 2 years before I would begin this physical expression?
The Chinese proverb;
"When you hear something, you will forget it.When you see something, you will remember it.But not until you do something, will you understand it."
And what I understand now is that I'm in the best shape of my life, mentally and physically.
When was the last time you tried something that changed your life?
Take a look at www.crossfit.com and do it, then you will understand.
